Ten Small Things You Can Do Everyday to Get SmarterBy: Jessica Stillman Inc.com
Intelligence is a work in progress. Maximize yours with these simple habits.
You might be under the impression that intelligence is a fixed quantity set when you are young and unchanging thereafter. But research shows that you're wrong. How we approach situations and the things we do to feed our brains can significantly improve our mental horsepower.
That could mean going back to school or filling your bookshelves (or e-reader) with thick tomes on deep subjects, but getting smarter doesn't necessarily mean a huge commitment of time and energy, according to a recent thread on question-and-answer site Quora.
When a questioner keen on self-improvement asked the community, "What would you do to be a little smarter every single day?" lots of readers--including dedicated mediators, techies, and entrepreneurs--weighed in with useful suggestions. Which of these 10 ideas can you fit into your daily routine?
1. Be smarter about your online time: Every online break doesn't have to be about checking social networks and fulfilling your daily ration of cute animal pics. The Web is also full of great learning resources, such as online courses, intriguing TED talks, and vocabulary-building tools. Replace a few minutes of skateboarding dogs with something more mentally nourishing, suggest several responders. Continue reading here: 10 Steps to Smarter

6 Far-Out Tech Innovations to Watch
By: John Brandon Inc.com
Small business will change dramatically in 20 to 30 years. Will you be ready?
In the future, small business will change beyond recognition. One of the main drivers for this shift? The one we already know about today: advances in technology. In the past 13 years writing about small business, I've seen my share of tech milestones. Some, like social networking, have rocked the business landscape and created entire business segments. Others, like speech recognition, have developed slower than anyone ever expected.
Looking ahead to the next 20 years and beyond, there's no question technology will continue to dramatically alter our basic understanding of how to conduct business, hire new employees, and work in an office setting. Here are a few changes we can expect by the year 2030 and beyond. Write to me with your opinion about them.
1. You won't use the US dollar: A few of you just rolled your eyes. Isn't making money the whole point of starting and running a company? Yet, alternative currencies like bitcoin are starting to stabilize (finally). While that particular crypto-currency gets all of the attention, there are dozens of other alternative currencies that could rise in popularity. In the next 20 to 30 years, the U.S. dollar might not even exist. How will that change your business? I doubt we'll see a rise in traded goods, but we might see completely different pricing models and currencies. One of my favorite examples: A tiny beef jerky supplier once told me he sells his product at a high premium because so many European customers have bitcoins stored away in a stockpile. In other words, they make beef jerky impulse purchases not because they have enough spare cash or love jerky, but because he takes bitcoins. It makes me wonder how a currency like bitcoin might change business markets in the future.
